Detalhes do Evento
The catalogue of the exhibition of the same name, coordinated by Daniel Alves, will be launched at the Museum of Lisbon — Pimenta Palace, with a presentation by Paulo Jorge Fernandes.
Lisbon in Revolution, 1383-1974
Catalogue of the Exhibition
The Museum of Lisbon — Pimenta Palace presents the catalogue of the exhibition Lisbon in Revolution, 1383-1974, a work that gathers 160 pages dedicated to the main revolutionary moments that marked the city of Lisbon and the history of Portugal.
The publication offers some unique details about these periods of political tension, starting with an article by Amélia Aguiar Andrade, who analyzes the Crisis of 1383-1385 and Lisbon’s role in the struggle for independence. Joana Fraga’s essay focuses on the Restoration of 1640, highlighting the coups that restored national sovereignty. Maria Alexandre Lousada examines the Liberal Revolution of 1820 and the political and cultural changes of the time, José Miguel Sardica covers the Revolution of 1836, marked by popular protest and Alice Samara discusses the Revolution of 1910, which led to the establishement of the Republic. Luís Trindade and Pedro Ramos Pinto close this chronology with the Revolution of 25th April 1974, highlighting popular participation and the cultural explosion that followed the end of the dictatorship and the construction of democracy. Daniel Alves is the editorial coordinator.
The publication reveals Lisbon’s central role in these historic events, showing how the streets, town squares, buildings and Lisbon’s people have witnessed the struggles for freedom and the aspirations for political and social transformation over almost six centuries.
